In the last week, I have seen one of my favorite blogs attempt to “chock” something up to a thing, and another favorite claim that a thing was “chalk” full of some other thing.
Strike that, reverse it.
Chalk: compressed limestone which can be used to make lines on some surfaces, allowing one to chalk something up to a thing.
Chock: a (usually wooden) block that might be used to fill in gaps in carpentry, making a thing chock full. Of chocks.
Now soldier on.
